Instructions
- Prepare your fruits by peeling and pitting the mango and peeling and coring the pineapple. Cut them into chunks suitable for your blender.
- Place the prepared mango and pineapple chunks into your blender.
- Add the yogurt and honey to the blender, ensuring that the honey doesn't stick to the sides of the blender.
- Add the ice cubes last, to make the blending process easier.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no chunks of fruit or ice remaining. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender's power.

Tips
- For a vegan version, replace the honey with agave syrup and use a plant-based yogurt.
- To make the smoothie thicker, add a half of a frozen banana.
- For added nutrition, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a handful of spinach – you won't even taste it!
